Too big for pinkies, too small for fuzzies. More pinkies?

All heat sources should be regulated by a thermostat. It makss a world of difference when it comes to controlling your temps vs. just monitoring them. Some of those heat mats can get over 140F. Hydrofarm makes a reliable inexpensive unit. Vivarium Electronics and Herpstat both make nicer higher end options. I keep my warm sides at 84-88 for my colubrids. The cool side should be in the mid 70s but can drop to the high 60s during winter nights.
